The MacSuture Absorbable Coated Braided PGLA Synthetic Suture is a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of surgical procedures. Crafted with precision and designed for optimal performance, this suture combines advanced materials with innovative design features to meet the demands of modern surgical practice.
Key Features:
-
Advanced Material: Made from polyglycolic acid (PGA), this suture offers excellent tensile strength and predictable absorption characteristics. The braided construction enhances flexibility and knot security, while the PGLA coating reduces tissue drag for smoother passage through tissue.
-
Violet Color: The violet color of the suture enhances visibility during surgical procedures, ensuring accurate placement and reducing the risk of errors.
-
Size 3-0: The 3-0 size is suitable for a wide range of soft tissue approximations, making it a versatile option for various surgical specialties.
-
Length of 30": With a length of 30 inches, this suture provides ample material for a variety of surgical techniques and procedures, allowing for efficient handling and reducing the need for frequent suture changes.
-
26 mm 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle: The 1/2 circle taper point needle is designed for easy penetration and precise tissue approximation. The taper point geometry allows for smooth tissue passage, while the 26 mm length provides optimal balance between maneuverability and strength.
-
Absorbable: This suture is absorbable, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing patient discomfort. The predictable absorption profile ensures reliable wound support during the critical healing period.
-
Coated and Braided: The PGLA coating reduces tissue drag and enhances handling characteristics, while the braided construction provides excellent knot security and tensile strength.
-
Sterilized: Each suture is individually packaged and sterilized to ensure safety and sterility, minimizing the risk of infection and ensuring optimal performance.
